Windsor saw a 7% rise in net company growth during the first six months of 2012, according to figures in the latest Duport Business Confidence Report. Net company growth between January and June stood at 77, compared to 72 during the same period in 2012.

Windsor is one of the most affluent areas of the UK, and benefits from a very healthy tourist trade, thanks to major attractions such as Windsor Castle and Legoland Windsor. Last year there were 7.33 million visitors to the town, who bought over £578 million to the local economy.

Despite its affluence, the Duport Business Confidence Report shows that Windsor was not unaffected by the recession. Statistics in the report show a sharp dip in net company growth during the first half of 2009, though figures have been climbing ever since.

Managing Director of Duport.co.uk, Peter Valaitis said:

"Windsor did suffer during the recession, but it's lively housing market, proximity to London and excellent tourist offering mean the town has weathered the economic storm remarkably well."

"Net company growth is currently rising, and with the UK economy set to come out of recession, the future looks bright for Windsor."

The Duport Business Confidence Report for Windsor provides a valuable overview of the local economy, with statistics on everything from company formation to average director age.
